Serve & Connect Mental Health Program Manager Graduates from KAP!
Serve & Connect is always honored to watch our employees participate in professional development programs that help them grow their careers and capacity to bring their talent to Serve & Connect, the community, and the spaces we serve. Personal and professional growth is a lifelong journey and we are committed to helping our staff achieve every goal they want to reach! We are excited to announce that Macey Silano MSW, our Mental Health Program Manager, recently attended the Koch Associate Program (KAP) with the Stand Together Foundation. Over the course of nine months, she attended online and in-person activities, dedicating incredible effort and time to this incredible opportunity.
The Koch Associate Program (KAP) is a career accelerator for early to mid-career professionals who exhibit a drive to tackle our country’s most pressing challenges in more effective, principled ways. KAP equips these trained associates with the tools, mindsets, and professional community to succeed as social entrepreneurs. KAP creates a framework for individuals excited to find new and better ways to break barriers and eliminate injustice.
KAP participants focused on three pillars to help learners supercharge their careers:
Self-Actualization
Principle-Based Management and
Principles of Progress
“Through the KAP process, I learned so much about myself. KAP drove me to commit my designated time to discovering, developing, and applying my unique gifts to the job I love. When I think about my passion in advocating for mental health: trying to solve any problem that I encounter, I see now it is easier when a person understands it or is close to it, this is where the true innovation starts and change begins to happen. I look forward to utilizing the skills and knowledge obtained through the KAP program in enhancing the work we do here at Serve & Connect. With the tools KAP has taught me I look forward to finding innovative ways to address mental health concerns and needs within our community.”
- Macey Silano, Serve & Connect Mental Health Program Manager
Congratulations Macey! Serve & Connect is incredibly excited to watch the success of KAP learning in your career. Serve & Connect is honored to be the vehicle that you work for as you tackle challenges and provide impact addressing mental health concerns and connections while providing safety and healing for the community!
